Because I simply love you Chapter 165: The fate of that rose

Chapter 165: The fate of that rose

Jing’s brain short-circuited. He didn’t even blink his eyes. The whole time Yukito kissed him, he was simply staring wide-eyed like a fool.
Yukito was satisfied seeing him dumbstruck.
He chuckled. “This kiss is the consolation if you failed to keep your promise. At least you wouldn’t feel bad that we didn’t even share a kiss.”
He released his collar and let him go. He winked at Jing and said, “Good night. I will be waiting.” And he shut the window on his face.
Jing absent-mindedly stood there devoid of any thoughts. He slowly touched his lips. The warmth of Yukito’s lips was still lingering on them, giving him the proof that this was not a dream. It wasn’t an illusion.
He collapsed on his knees and buried his face in his palms. His face turned red like a tomato. He was blushing furiously.
The kiss was entirely unexpected.
Damn, he is so cool! Ahhhhh!
He had this bubbling excitement raging inside him, and he didn’t know how to let it out.
“Knock, knock.”
Jing raised his head and saw Yukito once again leaning against the window.
He chuckled. “If you’ll blush this much just because of a kiss, what will you do when we make love? Provided IF I fell for you.”
Boom! Everything just exploded inside Jing’s head.
“I think you will faint. But you can’t.”, Yukito tilted his head and smiled a devilish grin. “You are going to be the top after all.”
Boom! Boom!
“So, increase your resistance a little. Otherwise, I’ll have to do all the work.”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
“This time, good night for real.”
Yukito left, leaving Jing in a poor, wretched state, but in a love-struck sense.

Nana was refilling the sacks of all raw ingredients in the stock room when she heard light footsteps behind.
“Ah, Yukito. Keep that sack over there.”
She heard no response.
“Yukito?”
She found it strange. She turned behind to look and was startled.
“Liu Jin-” She was about to say his name loudly when Jinhai quickly covered her mouth with his palm.
“Mmmm!”
Jinhai pushed her against the wall and trapped her in his arms.
“So. Where is that ugly rose?” His shrewd, black eyes were glistening with a dangerous light in them.
Nana stiffened. She felt as if she would be eaten up alive.
She didn’t get the time to keep that rose somewhere else. She had to get some things from the stock room, and the rose was still with her. She hurriedly kept it aside at a table and got busy with her work.
The table was just behind Jinhai with the rose lying on it.
She gulped.
It was just for a second, but he saw Nana quickly glancing behind his back. He turned and saw the rose.
He smiled. “So has that rose become that important to you that you are carrying it everywhere with you?”
She vigorously shook her head, indicating a big No.
He sneered and walked up to the table to pick up the rose. He went back to her and held it in front of her.
“Now watch very carefully.”
Then very slowly, deliberately and casually, he bent the rose, squeezing its petals in between his fingers, and snapping them off from its stem.
Nana could do nothing but watch in horror.
One by one, the shriveled up petals fell on the floor. There was no sign of any life in them. As if that wasn’t enough, he stepped on those wilted petals, further tearing them apart.
“You-you didn’t have to go this far.” She somehow got her voice back to express her resentment.
Jinhai narrowed his eyes. He wrapped his hand around her waist and pulled her hard towards him.
“Defending that boy?” He growled in a low voice.
“I am defending that rose. It was not the rose’s fault that that boy gave me. It did not have to suffer that horrible fate.”
“Precisely that it was given by him that the rose had to suffer that horrible fate. What I did wasn’t even a measly percent of my revenge.”
What more can you do to torture a single rose? She thought.
“And what was that your brother said? Giving phone numbers, helping out here…”, he pinched her chin, “making banners to confess their love…” He laughed softly, but only she knew that there was not a very nice ring to it. “Do you know how badly I want to get my hands on them and make them regret their mistake?”
Nana was furious. “You! You are going too far! What does this have to do with you?”
He threateningly stepped forward and said, “Don’t provoke me.”
“I will! I’m single. Even if tomorrow comes a man and asks me out, I can go out -“
Before she could complete her sentence, he grabbed her jaw and kissed her wildly. His tongue violently wrapped around hers, giving her no chance to object. He bit her lips hard, digging his teeth inside her flesh. He licked over the metallic taste of her blood, sucking on it. He kept on kissing her fiercely until he completely mended her lips with his.
The storm he suddenly raged on her, swept her off her feet with its force.
Jinhai pulled out and asked, “And what will you say to your pathetic boyfriend? That only Liu Jinhai can make you lose your mind? That only Liu Jinhai’s mere look can excite you? That only Liu Jinhai’s single touch can make you crave for more?” he whispered in her ear, breathing into it, “Or that your heart and body both only reacts to Liu Jinhai?”
